If you follow my blog you might recall that I wrote a few posts about season two of Hallmark’s hit series When Calls the Heart. In case you missed any of the posts simply do a search for them.
When Calls the Heart is inspired by the best-selling books by Janette Oke that tells the story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow), a young woman of privilege, working as a teacher in a prairie town in the Western Frontier. The local Mounty Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing), is beginning to doubt that his station entitles him to court the high society teacher, and Elizabeth’s father is against the relationship all together.
Season One is available for purchase. Season Two has not yet been released, but that is OK. In case you are anxiously awaiting the release of Season Two you an get a jump start by picking up a copy of the newly released DVD When Calls the Heart – Trials of the Heart. It’s the two hour movie that kicked off season two.
Elizabeth Thatcher (Krakow) is an independent, strong-willed teacher who has foregone the life of the big city and found a job, a home – and romance with a handsome Mountie named Jack – in the small frontier town of Coal Valley. But when she learns that her mother has taken ill, she returns to Hamilton, her hometown, with Jack as her escort. Once in the comparably opulent Hamilton, Elizabeth and Jack are confounded by Jack’s ne’er-do-well brother and Elizabeth’s former suitor, Charles Kensington. But it is Elizabeth’s father, William, who drives a wedge between them when he suggests to Jack that Charles would be a better match for his well-bred daughter.
This is one of my favorite episodes from season two (it was a great way to start the new season).
I’m not sure if/when season three will be announced (fingers crossed it’s soon!) so in the meantime, while you are waiting, why not pick up a copy of When Calls the Heart – Trials of the Heart. Look for it where DVDs are sold. I have seen it available on Amazon.
Are you a fan of the series? Do you have a favorite character or story line? Feel free to share your thoughts.
